Question
Give reasons for the following
The wall of the stomach is not digested by its own enzyme.
Short Note
Solution
The wall of the stomach is protected by mucus. Hence the wall of the stomach is not digested by its own enzymes. Further, the gastric enzyme pepsinogen is present only in an inactive form and converted into active pepsin only when food enters the stomach.
